Having a model of motivation gives us a framework to examine and think about it. It also might act as a framework for analysis of motivation problems.
Exploring the Basic model

All of the previously described levels of motivation are directed toward an action.Is it possible to be negatively motivated?
For consideration

Have you ever done something purely based on emotion, without any real need of any sort…based on emotion?

Motivation is one of the most important gifts that an educators can foster in their students. It can last far beyond the retention of knowledge, and offers more utility than any technical skill.
If we aren’t able to motivate our learners, the least that we can do is to ensure we aren’t inadvertently immotivating them or creating barriers… their innate curiosity and opportunity will take care of the rest.
